Snow Cone & Lemonade Sale

For the past few years our community in Austin has participated in Lemonade Day. This program is sponsored by an organization that aims to introduce kids to entrepreneurship. I'd say it has been a success because when Ella proposed the idea of a "sale" to buy a camp pet the campers had a pretty good idea about how a "sale" worked and diligently planned, marketed and enthusiastically set up and served their customers with little prompting and/or guidance.

In Ella's world more is always more and so selling just lemonade was far too simple -- very much like the Lemonade and Chrystal Sale of 2009. The snow cones really did set the sale apart from your average run-of-the-mill lemonade stand. The campers were super proud of themselves and spent their money on supplies for the donated (thanks Jackson) beta fish.
